888 would be loving SM being in the States.
Shame. It would be a great battle. Triple 8 seem like they’ve sorted their shit out this year.

you have to ask why SVG hasn’t had an overseas opportunity.
He’s raced plenty overseas… Maybe the guy wants to stay in Supercars. He’s got a pretty good thing going right now just winning races, driving different cars on his weekends off and probably getting paid quite well.

Raced and won too.
Guys like Whincup, and to a lesser extent CL who dont bother going OS when they clearly have the talent to do so.... smacks of the "Big Fish, Small Pond" mentality. I know the money is a far greater issue but still
I didn‘t know that.
I consider Supercars a stepping stone, and a retirement plan.
Those prime middle years are wasted here, no matter the dollars on offer.
Lowndes did F3000 in Europe: https://au.motorsport.com/v8supercars/news/lowndes-941729/3040827/
Which gigs are paid rides v paying for drives ?

I knew Lowndes did that, but he stunk.
Dr Marko sets the bar high.
Well they certainly aren’t available when you spend the majority of your time driving a car that’s no longer manufactured and a horrible copy of an American car squished into a chassis from a car no longer manufac.
No one from Europe is going to come knocking on your door.
You have to go to the mountain because the mountain isn’t coming to you.

Not entirely true.
Mostert was a works BMW driver, SVG has raced in Europe too. I think a few others have raced OS with success.

I mean yes it's harder, the open wheel era of Aussie racing is long gone.
SVG was meant to race 24 hours of Le Man last year…

Yep, Mostert has done Daytona I think or maybe Sebring too.
The problems here is it's tintops or nothing really. I mean guys do the Bathurst 12Hr but there's nothing else. The cost of going car racing in Europe is massive
Are you suggesting driving for a manufacturer was the key for drivers who have driven professionally overseas ?
No doubt it was a part of Ambrose's success.
Mostert pre Covid seemed to be a BMW driver on occasions, but cut ties in 2020. Was that Supercars pressure?
Open wheelers are the better route for those with an eye to a professional career internationally, with McLaughlin a real exception due to his Penske connection.
Carerra Cup has delivered for Matt Campbell & Jaxon Evans* is following that path. Jordan Love ** is behind Evans on the same path.

SC was a bit slow to leave the lane, wasn't it?
Were they paid is the question.

How was it part of his success?
FINALLY, someone actually puts some blocks on SVG and doesn't just let him waltz past, good job Waters.
When the other guy is that much quicker than everyone else it’s hard not to let them just waltz past
Good to see them both smiling at the end. Good racing.
